Hi Mike,
Just need some clarity on the restructuring provision, why is it a debit in the FS and Credit in the p&l……shouldn’t a provision be a credit in the FS and debit in the p&l?
Thanks

Because the provision was made prematurely before an obligation actually existed so the entry is reversing the premature provision
OK?

“Reversal of provision” or “Provision no longer required” or anything similar
The description needs only to satisfy the requirements of clarity and non-ambiguity so any appropriate wording will do
